A cool piece in the Times about 6 of the top academic bloggers (including Volokh, Althouse, and Reynolds), and the influence they have. Your humbler blogger, who just so happens to be an aspiring academic, looks up to these visionaries. They have paved the road I am cruising on, and I owe them quite a debt. To paraphrase Newton, if I have blogged snarkier, it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants.
